You complete me, Sadie

Lindsey and I needed to run some errands on Saturday, while Sadie, our three year-old, was napping. Instead of waiting for her to awake from her slumber, we hired a babysitter for a an hour and opted to take Maddie (our one year-old) with us.

While I enjoyed the one-on-one time with Maddie, Lindsey and I immediately mourned Sadie’s temporary absence. It was the first time I can remember that the both of us voluntarily left one of our children behind — or at least it felt that way.

One parent with one child is one thing, but I don’t like the feeling of knowing that another member of our near-complete family could have been present. Anyone with two or more kids feel the same?

    This is probably nothing like when I leave the house and realize that I have only brought my phone, and accidentally left my iPod at home.

    Or like that time I voluntarily wore my shirt to class, but not my pants.

    Yeah…probably nothing like that.
